TMC 2024 SESSION

Safer, more productive trucks

October 22, 2024

Start: 10:30 am

End: 11:20 am

Safer and more productive trucks are here, and there may be more to come.

It’s now possible to get 2.55 metre Safer Freight Vehicles on the road. Transport ministers in the Heavy Vehicle National Law states have agreed to provide general access for trucks that are slightly longer and heavier than at present, subject to safety checks.

In this session, you’ll discuss—

  • the details of NHVR Vehicle Standards Guide 35, which sets out how the Safer Freight Vehicle width changes are being implemented
  • the proposals for higher truck mass and length, and their safety implications
  • the Euro VI steer axle mass increases
  • twin steer axle group issues associated with Euro VI.
